NAME
     bsetroot - blackbox utility to change root window appearance

SYNOPSIS
     bsetroot -help
     bsetroot [ -display display ] -solid color
     bsetroot [ -display display ] -mod x y -fg color -bg color
     bsetroot [ -display display ] -gradient texture -from color -to color

DESCRIPTION
     Bsetroot is a utility that can control the appearance of the root window in
     three  ways: Either give it a solid color, or write a two color modula pat-
     tern to it, or render a gradient texture, based on two different colors.

     Bsetroot resembles xsetroot(1) in this functionality but it supports multi-
     ple screen displays, and gradient textures the same way as  Blackbox  does.
     It doesn't handle cursors etc.  Bsetroot is part of the Blackbox package.

OPTIONS
     Bsetroot  operates  in  three  ways, you must choose one of the first 3 op-
     tions:

     -solid color

     -mod x y
	    Creates a modula pattern. You must specify -bg and -fg colors.

     -gradient texturestring
	    Renders the specified texture string to the root window.  For possi-
	    ble texture strings, please refer to  blackbox(1).	 You  must  also
	    specify both a -from and a -to color.

     -display display
